Betraying Giovanni

Chapter Fifty-Three: Handle My Business

Vincent Giovanni

"Mr Giovanni, it's so good to see you here," McCredie exclaims walking to his desk, he puts a glass in front of me and pours me a shot of whiskey and then himself.

"Likewise, I'm here to hand over the goods and take my money," I say.

"Getting straight to the point I see, well, let me get you the money and you can be on your merry way," he says, "In the meantime help yourself to some whiskey."

He gulps his down and walks away to the door, I drink mine and grimace, I've never liked American whiskey.

"Babe, can you bring the briefcase, please," he yells from his office door.

He walks back to his desk and sits down, "She'll be here in a minute,"

I nod, "Of course,"

"Mr Giovanni, you know I didn't think you were smart at first but then I realised that you and I are the same, we both take pride in what we do and we would do anything to protect it," he says.

"That is true,"

"I hope that you and I continue to work together, we could take over the entire east coast of America and make it our playground," he grins, "Be filthy fucking rich."

The office doors open and I turn my head and there she is, Carmen, the first love of my life, alive, breathing and working for the enemy.

"Carmen, darling," McCredie says, "Come here baby, I'm sure you know Mr Giovanni."

She nods, "Of course I do, my love,"

I look over at Thomas and he smirks, "Must be a lot to take in, isn't it?"

I try not to let it get to me, I take in a deep breath in and out, "Give me the money, McCredie,"

"You don't even want to talk, catch up? No?"

"No McCredie, we have nothing to talk about, now give me my money and I'll be out your hou-

I feel dizzy, the room slowly starts spinning, I get up but I lose my balance and stumble away from the desk, rooming spinning, I pull out my phone and dial for Gio.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," McCredie chuckles, "Usually doesn't help at all, with most victims."

"Codice Rosso," I whisper over and over into the phone, hoping that he's heard me.

"Look at him, babe, I can't believe you once loved this bloke, weak piece of shit he is," Thomas laughs.

I drop to my knees and my body falls to the ground, I feel like I can't breathe, gasping for air.

"Sadly, I won't be able to make the payment Mr Giovanni," he says as he walks to me, he squats down beside me and shakes his head, "Such a disappointment,"

"Fuck you," I breathe out.

"I'm sorry, but you're not my type,"

And everything goes black.

Juliet Ferguson

"Sarah, what are you doing?"

"I thought it was obvious? I'm going to kill you," she says pointing the gun at me.

I get up from the chair with my hands up, "You do not have to do this Sarah, we can work this out, okay?"

"Gosh, you really don't get this do you, this baby is his and we are going to raise this baby together without you," she says frustrated.

"You know that Vincent would never allow that," I say calmly, "He doesn't even like you like that, you were just a one night stand he knocked up and now he's doing the right thing by helping you out."

"He never said that, he said that I was his and he called me his princess,"

"While he was fucking you, right?" I chuckle.

Luckily for me, Vincent had told me where the guns were hidden in the house, and there was one right underneath this counter, if I can just get it and shoot this bitch then I'll be out of here in no time.

"If you're looking for a gun you won't find one," she says as she cocks her gun.

Shit, I pick up the chair and throw it at her and make a run for it, I run to the living room and she keeps firing shots at me and I'm ducking and diving, I hide behind the couch to catch my breath.

See why women don't like baby mama's these bitches is insane. I flip the couch over and look underneath, I ouch a hole through and rip it, to check if there isn't a gun, I feel something at the bottom left but I can't seem to reach it.

"Julie? You know I can see, just come out so I can put you out of your misery, you won't have to deal with me anymore." She says as she walks closer to the couch.

"No baby, it's you, I wanna out down bitch,"

And where the hell is these guards do they not hear the gunshots, I swear, my life is a movie, I finally get a grip on the gun and pull it out, but it's too late, she's got a gun to my head and if I run I'm as good as dead.

"Now, drop the weapon and get up," she commands.

I slowly lower the gun and get up from the ground, "Sarah, don't do this, it's not worth it."

"Please stop talking, it's so annoying," she groans, "This whole you trying to get to me thing, isn't going to work."

Of course not.

"Now turn around, I wanna see the look on your face when I but I bullet through your -

Bang!

I scream I'm dead, I'm definitely dead right now.

"Puta, open your damn eyes,"

Mona?

I slowly open my eyes and see Mona looking at me, she's got a gun in her hand and I look down and Sarah is lying on the ground, there is blood coming out of the back of her head.

"You killed her?"

"It was you or her and I chose you, I really thought you would be more grateful,"

"Vincent is going to be so mad at me," I whisper to myself.

"Well he won't be if he's dead," Mona replies as she walks to me, "Gio sent me to get you, Vincent is in trouble."

I look at Mona and she's got her resting bitch face on and dressed in her full battle gear.

"What do you mean Mona and why are dressed like that? Where is AJ?"

"Bitch you ask a lot of questions, let's go," she says pulling me away from the body and out of the house, there is a car parked outside and there is a man, standing there with a gun strapped to his chest. Mona opens the door to the SUV and tells me to get in.

I get into the car and she gets in and closes the door.

"Vincent is being held hostage by McCredie,"
